This page has all the songdrops bedtime songs on one page.  All songs are also available through iTunes and other online song download sites under “Bryant Oden” or “Songdrops”. I have a fun writing and recording the funny Songdrops songs. But I also like these simple, softer, sweeter, more soothing heart songs. Enjoy

Song by Bryant Oden

This song touched my heart when it came to me in 2008. I recorded it that fall, when I was recording a lot of songs for the first CD (This one isn’t on that CD). It was recorded just with me and guitar “live” in the studio. The recording was very heartfelt and raw (and imperfect). I wasn’t planning on using it. But then later we tried adding Danae Shanti singing with me, and she added a very sweet and soft feel. Then Rick D. Lewis added the flute and other instruments. With their help, and the help of Tony Crank the engineer, to me the song has a sweet, simple heartfulness to it.

I’m sorry if sometimes
G                         C

I’m sorry if sometimes
It’s hard for you to find
But Angel whatever you do
My heart always holds you

Even when I’m too busy
Or when you do something that I don’t like
I hope you know there’s always a glow
In my heart because you’re in my life
I’m so thankful you’re in my life

And my heart always loves you
I promise you Angel it’s true
I’m sorry if sometimes
It’s hard for you to find
But Angel whatever you do
My heart always loves you
My heart always holds you
Angel I always love you

Words to Angel Song
Here are the lyrics to Angel Song

Some people say we all have an angel
That settles our heart and quiets our mind
When it’s time for sleeping
When it’s time for dreaming
She keeps softly singing
‘Til the sun starts to shine

And she sings a song of love
And she sings a song of peace
And she brings a light from above
Into this world while we sleep
Into this world while we sleep

Some people say we all have an angel
That settles our heart and quiets our mind
When it’s time for sleeping
When it’s time for dreaming
She keeps softly singing
‘Til the sun starts to shine
She keeps softly singing
‘Til the sun starts to shine

Song by Bryant Oden

Much thanks to Danae Shanti for the beautiful back up vocals, and also to Tony Crank and Rick D. Lewis for filling out the song.

Lyrics to The Light in You:
(I’ll try to add the chords soon, but feel free to leave a comment if you want them before I’ve added them).

There’s a light in you
That always shines through
If you only knew your beauty

There’s a light in your eyes
As endless as the skies
Do you realize your beauty

There’s a light in your heart
And it’s never apart
It loves when you start to see your beauty

Even when it feels so far
It’s shining in you like the brightest star
It’s what you truly are
Pure beauty

Lullaby is a soft, soothing, pretty song that reminds us to enjoy and take care of the Earth. A good song for Earth Day or any time you feel like a positive, relaxing song. It was written by Ann Fagerstrom Perry with some help from Danae. Tess Knichel also sings on the song.

Lyrics to Lullaby:

Teach me to look up in the sky
To watch the sparrows flying high
Puffy clouds in a big blue sea
Sunshine smiling back at me

Teach me to feel the green grass grow
To smell the flowers as I go
Walking softly on this land
Touch the Earth with a golden hand

Teach me to taste the honey of spring
to hear the sounds if nature sing
Feel the rain upon my face
Earth is such a wonderful place
